It's pretty easy to throw tubes into the scoring zone, you have to use a different technique than the video to do it though... On my first throw at the practice field, I got a square tube past the midline.

Has anyone on 118 weighed in on whether or not it was actually a miracle shot? They cut immediately after it scores, but no one on the side of the field looks to be watching with much interest. His consistent (at least across the few videos they show) ability to land it right under a scoring peg makes it seem to me like they can do this with fairly frequently. When our human player accidentally scored a ringer on our practice field in 2007 we pretty much exploded.

I agree he won't be scoring every match (or even every event), but putting them right under the peg consistently is a 71/469 style game changer.
